Welcome to Day 39 of our Divi 100 Marathon. Keep tuning in for 100 days in a row of awesome Divi resources as we count down to the amazing release of Divi 3.0 on the final day of the series!

Today’s episode of Divi Nation continues a series of interviews we started two weeks ago with our developer Thierry Muller. For those who don’t know, we’re interviewing the entire design and development team at Elegant Themes to learn their personal WordPress stories as well as what they’re contributing to Divi 3.0. This week I spoke with our lead designer Mario Maruffi.

Lead Designer Mario Maruffi on Divi 3.0, Design Theory, and Much More – The Divi Nation Podcast, Episode 26

In this episode of Divi Nation Mario Maruffi shares a lot of fantastic information about himself, digital design, the design process at Elegant Themes and the features of Divi 3.0 that he’s most excited to get into the hands of the Divi Community. We have repeated the style of interview we conducted with Thierry so that Mario could record his answers to my questions in English. If you have questions about anything we cover in this episode, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.

Big Change Coming Next Week on the Divi Nation Podcast

Next week will be the first week that our new content team member Augustine Mak hosts an episode of Divi Nation. But it won’t be the last! In fact, moving forward, Augustine will be hosting most (if not all) of our Divi Nation Shorts.

The idea behind this change is that as the podcast and our YouTube content both grow in scope and volume we’d like to improve the quality of each piece we put out. The best way to accomplish this is to collaborate on some aspects while splitting other things up between the two of us.

By spending more time on writing and recording out interviews I hope to make the stories and lessons shared on the Divi Nation podcast unforgettable. And at the same time, Mak will have more time to dive deeper into Divi tutorials–making Divi Nation Shorts something truly special.

So make sure you come back next week for more Divi Nation goodness and a brand new host!
